Chapter 327: Whitebeard and Red-Haired Shanks Both Make Their Move
"Old man… how is that possible?"
Marco said in disbelief.
"How could they eat two Devil Fruits? Wouldn't that make them explode and die?"
"That's something you'd have to ask that brat Summoner about. The secrets on him… are impossible to see through."
Whitebeard shook his head.
He had roamed the seas for so many years. Aside from Roger, this was the second person he completely couldn't understand. He didn't even know how the other party had grown so strong.
The Summoner's strength grew as easily as drinking water—it increased every single day. Back then his strength had already been nearly on par with Whitebeard's.
Now five months had passed. His strength… might have already far surpassed Whitebeard's.
"Old man… if that's the case, wouldn't he be able to rule the world?"
"Doesn't the World Government know about this?" Marco asked in a deep voice.
"The strength of the World Government isn't as simple as you imagine."
Whitebeard shook his head.
If it were that simple, he would have already gone to the Red Line and punched it himself.
Unfortunately, if he actually did that, the outcome would be that Whitebeard himself would disappear from this sea.
"Alright, enough of that… that brat Red Hair is coming to drink with me. Go make the preparations."
Whitebeard waved his hand.
"Yes."
Marco responded and then withdrew.
At that moment, one of the division commanders ran over.
"Old man, Kaido of the Beasts has left Wano Country!" the commander shouted.
"Hm?"
Whitebeard's expression changed.
Buzz!
The bowl in his hand instantly turned to powder and scattered to the ground.
"That Kaido…"
He frowned, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Then he took out a Den Den Mushi.
Gururu… Gururu…
The Den Den Mushi kept ringing, but no one answered.
"Change course—head to the Dragon Flame Pirates' territory!"
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
He didn't even need to think to guess that Kaido had gone to find the Dragon Flame Pirates.
"Yes!"
Soon, the Moby Dick changed its course and sailed toward Dragon Island.
…
Dozens of nautical miles away.
A massive ship was speeding across the sea. On the mast hung a pirate flag with three claw marks across a skull.
It was the Red-Haired Pirates.
"Heh heh… we've got news from the Whitebeard Pirates. Captain… Whitebeard stood you up."
Beckman said with a light chuckle as he looked at Red-Haired Shanks standing at the bow.
A smile spread across Shanks's stern face.
"Where did he go?"
"He headed toward the Dragon Flame Pirates' territory. Doesn't look like he's going to cause trouble—he left pretty suddenly."
"Then let's go take a look too. I haven't met Summoner Ze yet. It'd be good to get acquainted."
"Now this is going to be interesting. Three Emperors gathering together—if the Marines find out, I wonder what they'll think?"
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates all broke into grins, yet there wasn't the slightest trace of tension on their faces.
Soon, the Red-Haired Pirates' ship also adjusted its course and headed toward the Dragon Flame Pirates.
High in the sky, more than a thousand meters above, a News Coo looked down at the Red-Haired Pirates below. Its eyes shifted slightly before it flew away.
…
Marine Headquarters.
"Garp, you've been on leave lately. While you're at it, go patrol the Four Seas and suppress those pirates. The number of pirates has increased significantly."
Kong the Buddha looked at Garp, who was eating senbei, and spoke calmly.
"Hey, Fleet Admiral Kong, that's not fair… I'm on vacation and you're still making me patrol the Four Seas? By the time I'm done, my vacation will be gone!"
Garp immediately jumped to his feet and protested, looking extremely agitated.
"I know, but you're the only one who's free right now. The New World still needs the others to keep it under control… or do you want to switch with them?"
Kong said with a smile.
